Ray Rice, running back for the Baltimore Ravens, will play in his second Pro Bowl this coming weekend.

This season, P&G and NFL PLAY 60 teamed up to amplify the NFL’s successful Super School pillar, which chooses 34 Super Schools to honor in the U.S. (32 in NFL markets and two general markets) each football season. Joanne was honored as a P&G Super Parent along with 34 other parents part of the national NFL PLAY 60 Super School program. All were selected because of their commitment to raising active kids and overall community involvement.

Joanne won the contest and will be heading to the Pro Bowl to help lead the Pro Bowl Community Blitz, presented by P&G. While there, Joanne and her family will also have a VIP experience at the Pro Bowl, including running the game ball out prior to kickoff. Joanne will join Pro Bowlers including Maurice Jones-Drew and Nick Mangold in building a playground at Ke Kula O Samuel M. Kamakau Public School in Oahu.
